Awesome, Just Awesome! I'm a big fan of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale ever since Long Halloween. They do write/draw an awesome Batman, but I've been devouring all their Marvel stuff with just a verocious appetite - Spiderman: Blue, Hulk: Grey, and this book, Daredevil: Yellow. I love, LOVE the artwork. Really tired of looking at the regular Marvel guys draw the same old Daredevil, it's great to see a new twist and Sale is just awesome and does his own thing. It's quite beautiful in a simplistic way - almost like abstract/fine art. Great retreat from traditional comic book art and a lot prettier! Story-telling is riveting. Very unfortunate they killed the movie for such an awesome character, but I digress. Definitely, one of my favorite books of all time.
one of the best daredevil storys ever made As far as superhero origin's stories are concerned, there's an infinite number of ways to skin the cat. In Daredevil: Yellow, the fan-favorite creative team of writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale (of Batman: Long Halloween and Dark Victory fame) tell their version of Matt Murdock's origin and early career, using his brief stint in that atrocious yellow costume as the overriding concept of the miniseries. The story is framed by Matt Murdock's grief-laden letters to the deceased Karen Page, and while the narration gets a bit melodramatic and heavy-handed at times, the story is somehow able to maintain a fun, light-hearted tone. Loeb doesn't exactly introduce anything new to the Daredevil mythos, but he does an enjoyable and commendable job visiting some crucial moments in Matt Murdock's life while perfectly capturing the voices and personalities of Daredevil's supporting cast. The star of this show is Sale, who provides more of his unique style of art and keen eye for storytelling.
Loeb & Sale re-tell Daredevil Daredevil: Yellow is a sort of re-telling of the origins of the blind superhero, with longtime partners Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale in the driver's seat. Ignoring the gritty re-telling of Frank Miller with The Man Without Fear, Yellow is instead a poignant tale in which Matt Murdock reminisces of the lost love that was Karen Page. It also gives a further detail into the changing of the Daredevil costume from the original yellow to the beloved red one we all know today. While Loeb's touching story is a nice surprise given the ultra gritty track record of the character, cynical readers of Yellow will probably dismiss it as a whole. That aside, Loeb spins a good and heart filled yarn, while Tim Sale provides his usual beautiful artwork. In terms of origin stories, I still prefer Miller's, as many do, but Yellow is a welcome change of pace regardless, and definitely worth adding to your Daredevil collection whether your a fan of the character or the works of Loeb and Sale.
One word.......Beautiful Yet another masterpiece by the team of writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale(Batman: A Long Halloween, Superman: For All Seasons, Hulk: Gray). When these two work together, magic happens.
This, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful, and possibly THE most beautiful Daredevil story ever written. This TPB is about Matt Murdock remembering his humble beginnings as Daredevil, and his first love, Karen Page. By the way, the book is called Daredevil: Yellow because the original Daredevil actually had a mainly yellow costume, later changed to all red. Anyways, this book tells of DD's origins, his boxer father, his run-ins with several villians like the Owl and Electro, and of course, his love for Karen Page. With guest appearance by the Fantastic Four, just a short cameo appearance though. This story is so touching and beautiful, you'll find yourself reading it again and again. I, for one, read the book in one sitting. Jeph Loeb did a superb job here writing this masterpiece story.
Now let's not forget the beautiful art by Tim Sale. His art in here is soft and beatiful, and works so well with the touching storyline by Jeph Loeb. The illustrations really put you right there with Matt and Karen in the comic book.
A must-have, especially if you are a Daredevil fan, beautiful, touching, and definitely a masterpeice. Other Marvel books by this team of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale are Spider-man: Blue, and Hulk: Gray, both are also beautiful and touching, just like DD: Yellow. If you like this, I suggest you get a copy of the other two books. Enjoy!
Best This is the Daredevil comic too buy Most of it isn't supposed to be tragic because it is about how Daredevil recollects some of the times about his humble beginnings as a super hero and district attorney Besides it is tragic because karen is dead and his father dies The plot they use to introduce the story is very intriguing The artwork is too good for words The blend of fighting with his earliest foes as Daredevil and the life he starts and shares after college with Foggy and Karen as Matt Murdock and Daredevil is great The romantic comedy fits in perfectly with the way the plot was done and was enjoyingly refreshing and the good thing was that there was still just the right amount of action
